hey! hey, how was your day?

She used to be an amazing trainer, but has since retired after winning a couple of championships. She had a small stint as a gym leader (fighting types) for a short while but has retired from doing that as well. She now runs a café/bar that also doubles as lodging for travelling young trainers to stay. The upstairs apartment has a couple of rooms she keeps clean and orderly for kids passing through. She also has quite a bit of land behind her home/bar where she offers to help train trainers and coordinators alike. She has SO MANY pokémon now.

The First
Sky the Marowak ♂ He's Tifa's first pokémon so he's getting a little old now. He was a Cubone and a big crybaby when they first started traveling together, Tifa often had to cuddle and hug him. When he evolved he became a little more aloof, though he still stuck to her side like glue and was a wee bit possessive.

Gym Leader Team Sky was part of the team too, and usually the last to go since he isn't a fighting type

Keter the Hitmonchan ♂ He's quiet and tends to keep to himself. Not necessarily serious or isolated, as he does care for his companions and Tifa, but he's almost got like a stoic big brother personality.

Chokmah the Lucario ♂ Very intelligent and almost a little arrogant. Kinda edgy and cool, though Tifa likes teasing his "cool" personality.

Binah the Medicham ♀ Kind and understanding. Extremely patient and a bit of a comfort companion.

Da'at the Gallade ♂ Noble and protective, but also a little to excited to help. Almost cocky during a fight.

Chesed the Blaziken ♂ He's more of a lover than a fighter and was often the first to go out during her gym days. He's very strong, don't underestimate him, he's just also a very sweet boy who loves hugs and holding hands.

Main team during her Trainer days Eventually also Sky, when he evolved

Gevurah the Slaking ♀ Tends to forget her own strength. She often flops just wherever, but generally likes to mess around with her opponents in battle. Otherwise she likes to play harmless pranks on Tifa and the other pokés (and sometimes her patrons).

Tiferet the Umbreon ♀ Very friendly and kind. She tries her best to be helpful and checks in on Tifa and the other pokés often. She's especially fond of young new trainers.

Netzach the Porygon-Z [] Kinda mysterious, but she's run into a lot of good luck since she got it. It seems to like her well enough so that's good enough for Tifa.

Hod the Flygon ♀ Hod is clearly a pokémon that wanted to be a part of Contest girl. She's very strong but she's more interested in looking majestic and cool and showing off and she's just very theatrical. Tifa will often put on little shows for the kids in town with her, which is how she learned the little bit of Coordinating that she has learned. Tifa enjoys getting to do this with Hod who clearly thrive with the attention.

Yesod the Xatu ♂ He's pretty serious and feels like Tifa's own personal sentinel. He's almost scary sometimes, honestly.

Malkuth the Dugtrio ♂ He's a fun guy. Likes to just pop up out of the ground and make Tifa fill the holes sometimes. Very social.

Some friends she found since she retired

Cosmo the Drifloon ♂ Has literally tried to kidnap children before. He's a chaotic prankster.

Sol the Shellder ♀ Very shy, very scared, just wants to be held.

Nibel the Torchic ♂ Prideful, insecure, likes to show off to Tifa in particular but doesn't really care for anyone else. Chesed (the Blaziken) likes to dote on him and care for him.

Midee the Dratini ♀ Very curious and adventurous, Tifa often has to keep a close eye on her. She's found her in trainer's bags many times.
